I am having problems with Kodi and TVHeadend. Everything was working fine up until about a week ago. Then all of a sudden Kodi would crash regularly. In the top right hand corner the following message appears and stays on for 10 seconds and then Kodi crashes and restarts.
PVR Manager is starting up 0%
Loading channels from clients
Most of the time Kodi will crash over and over again and eventually CoreElec would restart in safe mode. However since the Kodi crash happens about 80%-90% of the time eventually after some crashes things would work. Once Kodi is up and running everything works and I can play all the audio and video channels defined on my tvheadend server. The crash is always the same with a SIGSEGV in in PVR::CPVRTimers::UpdateEntries(int)

I am able to mitigate the problem by deleting all series timers (i.e. delete all tvheadend Autorecs). Once I do that Kodi restarts fast and there is never a crash. However as soon as I set up a new timer recording a series (autorec) the problem reoccurs during Kodi restarts. If I add each individual episode of a series individually I do not have a problem. The problem does not occur right when I add the series timer, it occurs when Kodi is restarted.
I tried reverting to a previous CoreElec version (RC2) and I had the same problem. I also tried using the CoreElec nightly and also had the problem (I did this a few of days ago so I used the nightly from a few days ago).
I deleted the tvheadend addon and cleared its configuration data. Then reinstalled it and set it up again. This did not help
I completely wiped my tvheadend server and configured everything from scratch. The problem reoccurred again as soon as I added a series timer.
I am having the same problem on two Odroid boxes. One is a N2 and the other is a N2+
Odroid N2+ (also have same problem on Odroid N2)
CoreElec: 19.2-Matrix_rc3
pvr.hts: v8.3.4.1
tvheadend:HTS Tvheadend 4.3-1975~g23754f9a6 (running in a docker container)
image: linuxserver/tvheadend:latest
Docker Hub
Here is my crash log http://ix.io/3xan
If anyone is able to help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
BTW: Here is the tvheadend log when Kodi crashed twice and on the 3rd time it worked.
